Reichsburg Cochem Castle

With its thousand years of history, the Reichsburg is a real centre of attraction in the Cochem holiday region. From whichever direction you approach the town, the castle majestically reigns down from its steep peak, which rises over 100 metres over the Moselle.
However, it is not only from the valley that it conjures up a magnificent sight, a tour of the inside with areas such as the knights’ hall, hunting room and heated ladies’ apartments is definitely worth a visit.
From the castle you have a fantastic view over Cochem and the Moselle.

Tip: Enjoy a good old-fashioned spread, known in German as a “Gasterey” – Feast like ye old knights.

After a guided tour of the castle, experience a rustic meal fit for a knight in the castle’s cellar. Servants and maids in historic costumes will wait on you like nobility. Bread and dripping do the rounds while a hearty soup bubbles away in the pot. For the main course generous legs of meat will be served from the grill. Minstrels in historic dress provide amusement and music in the appropriate style.
